Check us out! Each student in our Classroom Community participated enthusiastically on Friday along with numerous other classrooms across the globe in the World Record for the Largest Practical Science Lesson - Exploring Gravity and Atmosphere with Paper Airplanes! The lesson was designed specifically in helping set a Guinness World Record for the largest science lesson. In this lesson, students are learning about gravity and atmosphere by looking at the differences in their effects on Earth, the Moon, and Mars. This experiment was a great opportunity to introduce and explore topics such as: The properties of air, gravity, the solar system, flight and atmospheric science.
As a teacher, I was delighted to be part of such an amazing experiement because I had the pleasure to watch my students demonstrate and thoughtfully display our Character Trait of the Month - Cooperation - "We work together to get the job done!" Your child should be extremely proud of themselves as they worked collaboratively with their peers to create 3 different planes (The Earth, The Moon, and The Mars plane) which required quite the procedure! Thank you to Mrs. Morin's Grade 5/6's who came into our classroom to assist us with our Mars planes on Friday afternoon! Now we have our planes ready to launch this week! Keep you posted :)
Here are a few photos of the students celebrating their plane creations! I believe we have ourselves many scientists in the future! Keep investigating and exploring boys and girls, I'm so proud of YOU!

| "Caring" Recipients for September's Character Trait - Abigail & Wyatt Thank you so much for being such thoughtful, supportive, and caring classmates. In this picture, I know how much your group member Carrie-Ann appreciates your help in science! |
"I always knew that deep down in every human heart, there is mercy and generosity. No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite."
Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom
Namaste,
Miss Gill
great pics!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mrs. Forsyth! The students and I were so excited to be part of such an amazing science lesson! Each student worked collaboratively to help one another to get the job done! Their smiles say it all :-)
DeleteThank you for letting us be in the biggest science lesson in the world! The science lesson about putting the animals in the right habitat so they could live happily ever after was fun!
